Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School, published an opinion piece in Bloomberg on Thursday arguing against the House Democrats withholding the articles of impeachment, thus preventing the Senate from holding a trial.
"Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution:
The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment.
The Senate must actually hold a trial," he argues. "If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president.
If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all."

The didn’t transmit the articles, holding a piece of legislation kills it.

Hwo soon before Fauxnews issues a rebuttal to their host?
Pelosi and Nadler should be charged with abuse of power.
Saying America’s first fraudulent impeachment is probably more accurate imo.
Insights welcome.
Remember in November!
MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
true.
there is no impeachment without the charges being brought to the tribunal (senate) and filed there
nancy realizes she has presided over a big fat loser
first charge....charges PDJT with something that HAD HE DONE IT would have been both constitutional and in compliance with our Ukraine treaty
and thus fully lawful.
second charge.. not even a crime, not an impeachable offense even if a president were to do it, in accordance with our constitutional separation of powers, and there are no established facts he did it anyway
Claim that because the Democrats are stating publicly that Trump has been impeached, that the Senate now has complete jurisdiction, and set a trial date. If the Democrat trial managers don't show, you dismiss the case with prejudice for lack of prosecution.
Or, if the Democrats want to agree with their own law professor that Trump hasn't actually been "impeached", then they can pass a resolution to that effect, or Pelosi could even send a letter to the Senate saying that they have not yet impeached Trump.
Force her to either make a public clarification, or dismiss the charges with prejudice.
Years ago when I was in a wholesale business a lot of my customers were from a particular foreign country that I will not name. All of them were habitually bad payers.
I went to the office of one and gave him some real grief about owing me money. He looked at me dead serious and said I had been paid. I said no I haven’t. He opened his desk drawer and showed me the check made out to me. He said that because he made the check out, I was paid even if he hadn’t mailed it.
I think that’s reasonably analogous to this crap Ola from Pelosi.
Laura is jumping the gun.
It was 3 weeks after Clinton was impeached before the Senate had the articles.
Just chill out everyone. After the 1st of the year - Nancy will have the articles delivered to the Senate. Nowhere does it say this must be done immediately.
Is there any legal repercussions to Nancy Pelosi sending over fake articles of impeachment?
I know that if a District Attorney indicts a person on false charges that’s pretty bad
“without even sending the articles to the Senate”
Yes they did!
